Factors should be taken into account when defining gambling addiction and its consequences. It is possible to be consumed by a gambling addiction, which is now seen as a complex disorder that involves the regulation of impulses. This situation has consumed life to such an extent that it slowly but surely turns the passion for gaming into an irresistible habit. Pathological gambling is characterized by an uncontrollable desire to gamble, even if the negative consequences of gambling spill over to other areas of life. Not only does it lead to emotional turmoil, financial instability and strained relationships, but the consequences are significant and have a far-reaching impact on all aspects of a person's life. Many studies have shown a strong correlation between pathological gamblers (PG) and the presence of personality disorders (PD), focusing specifically on the relationship between antisocial personality disorder and gambling (Pietrzak and Petry, 2005; Slutske et al., 2001). The negative reputation associated with gambling addiction often appears to stem from misconceptions and false beliefs. To be classified as a gambling addict, it is generally assumed that an individual must engage in gambling activities on a daily basis. This limited approach ignores many of the symptoms and frequency of gambling addiction. Another misconception is that gambling is not an issue that concerns individuals as long as they have the financial resources to gamble. This idea aims to minimize the impact of gambling and does not address the emotional and psychological consequences it can have.
